Luigi (the guy who writes dummynet) is on that list. However, from what I can remember, I assisted with some stability issues in the early days of Dummynet's first commit to the CVS tree, and this is basically a warning that catches unexpected errors in the dummynet code. Are you using dummynet as a kind of "pass through" router or are you referencing daemons etc that are running on the local machine? I've had some stability problems with dummynet when running, say, Apache on the same machine - but have had 250 days of uptime on a machine that has only worked as a router, passing from the outside world to machines on our network & vice versa with almost no local daemons running. Hope that this is of at least some assistance.
